Endoscopic ultrasound‐guided rendezvous with a combination of 22‐gauge needle and 0.018‐inch guidewire for acute cholangitis with Cronkhite‐Canada syndrome

Endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is the standard procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of biliary diseases. However, selective biliary cannulation, the essential first step in ERCP, can sometimes fail due to anatomical variations or technical limitations. In these cases, the endoscopic ultrasound‐guided rendezvous technique (EUS‐RV) offers a valuable salvage option. Nevertheless, it is crucial to be aware of potential adverse events associated with bile duct puncture. To optimize the success rate and safety of EUS‐RV, understanding the basic techniques, technical tips for each procedural step, and troubleshooting strategies for potential difficulties is essential. This review article summarizes the clinical outcomes and technical considerations of EUS‐RV, including a comprehensive analysis of the current evidence.
